In the summer of 2005, Johnson joined the Hawks in Atlanta for Boris Diaw and two future draft picks . Johnson was dissatisfied with his role in Phoenix and did not want to sign a new contract.

Johnson was transferred to the Brooklyn Nets in the summer of 2012, as part of a rebuild at the Hawks, for five players and a future draft selection right .
